The pit of greeting card recursion
Stop me before I thank again!
[Addendum: David Beaver writes to note how close the cartoon came to a nice center embedding variant:
Thank you cards.
Thank you for the [thank you card] cards.
Thank you for the [thank you for the [thank you card] card] cards.
Thank you for the [thank you for the [thank you for the [thank you card] card] card] cards.
Thank you for the [thank you card] cards.
Thank you for the [thank you for the [thank you card] card] cards.
Thank you for the [thank you for the [thank you for the [thank you card] card] card] cards.
And so on, ad infinitum.]
